I was walking around, just a face in the    
JXUwMDNiJXUwMDExJXUwMDFkJXUwMDE4JXUwMDEz
   
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam    
JXUwMDNiJXUwMDExJXUwMDFkJXUwMDE4JXUwMDE5
   
Wondered if I might end up the    
JXUwMDJiJXUwMDEyJXUwMDBjJXUwMDA4
   
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about    
JXUwMDNiJXUwMDBiJXUwMDA5JXUwMDBmJXUwMDA5JXUwMDAy
   
Everybody got their cross to bare, these days
 
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of    
JXUwMDNjJXUwMDE2JXUwMDE3JXUwMDA0JXUwMDBjJXUwMDFl
   
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the    
JXUwMDJmJXUwMDE2JXUwMDBmJXUwMDAwJXUwMDBmJXUwMDAzJXUwMDA3JXUwMDE2
    
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
 
These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless    
JXUwMDM5JXUwMDA2JXUwMDAy
   
There ain't nobody left but us these    
JXUwMDNjJXUwMDA1JXUwMDE4JXUwMDBh
   
 
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to    
JXUwMDNlJXUwMDBhJXUwMDE1
   
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his    
JXUwMDNkJXUwMDFjJXUwMDFjJXUwMDE2
   
His momma said he was crazy - he said, "Momma, I've got to    
JXUwMDJjJXUwMDA2JXUwMDBi
   
Don't you know that all my heroes    
JXUwMDNjJXUwMDBkJXUwMDBjJXUwMDAx
   ?
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away."
 
These days - the stars seem out of    
JXUwMDJhJXUwMDE3JXUwMDA0JXUwMDAyJXUwMDBi
   
But these days - there ain't a ladder on the    
JXUwMDJiJXUwMDA3JXUwMDA2JXUwMDE3JXUwMDAwJXUwMDExJXUwMDA3
   
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless    
JXUwMDM5JXUwMDA2JXUwMDAy
   
Even innocence has caught the midnight    
JXUwMDJjJXUwMDA2JXUwMDEzJXUwMDA4JXUwMDA3
   
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
 
I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have    
JXUwMDNiJXUwMDBiJXUwMDA5JXUwMDBmJXUwMDA5JXUwMDAyJXUwMDAx
   
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round
These    
JXUwMDNjJXUwMDA1JXUwMDE4JXUwMDBh
   
 
These days - the stars seem out of    
JXUwMDJhJXUwMDE3JXUwMDA0JXUwMDAyJXUwMDBi
   
But these days - there ain't a ladder on the    
JXUwMDJiJXUwMDA3JXUwMDA2JXUwMDE3JXUwMDAwJXUwMDExJXUwMDA3
   
These days are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight    
JXUwMDJjJXUwMDA2JXUwMDEzJXUwMDA4JXUwMDA3
   
And there ain't nobody left but us these    
JXUwMDNjJXUwMDA1JXUwMDE4JXUwMDBh
   
 
These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts
There ain't no time to    
JXUwMDJmJXUwMDE2JXUwMDEyJXUwMDA3JXUwMDEx
   
There ain't nobody left to take the    
JXUwMDNhJXUwMDBlJXUwMDBkJXUwMDBjJXUwMDA4
   
There ain't nobody left but us these days
